Media Ranch hooks Fish Bingo for Mip

DR’s angling-based interactive gameshow Fish Bingo

Canadian distributor Media Ranch has unveiled its slate for Digital MipTV, including a series of new dating, gameshow and celebrity formats.

The gameshow include Fish Bingo from Danish pubcaster DR, a live interactive game which sees 90 fishermen/women, each wearing a number, going fishing while the TV audience plays bingo using the numbers.

Also from DR comes Here’s Your Hit, a music entertainment show exploring what makes a hit song, and Mom, He’s a Dane, a factual series highlighting the many challenges that immigrant families face in a new country.

Media Ranch’s gameshow slate also features its own show Watch!, which pits two teams against each other in a game of memory, challenging them to recall details of the extravagant variety act they have just watched.

Recipe for Love is a new studio-based dating show with a cooking twist for contestants aged 50-plus, which aims to demonstrate that it’s never too late for love.
